Such a professional service delivered throughout. Great detail and explanation with clear advice was received whilst my case was ongoing. Fast, efficient first class service with excellent detailed communication. Wonderful personal touch with constant direct contact from Diane who went above and beyond my expectations to ensure a smooth outcome of my case. I would highly recommend this company and Diane personally she was such a refreshing pleasure to deal with. Happily use again in the future.

Dianne has helped me so much in my case. She is a wonderful solicitor, she’s friendly and extremely approachable and she’s managed my case with extreme care. She is a real testament to the company. I could go on and write paragraphs as to why I have such a high opinion of her, however my words could not sum up the sheer amount of gratitude I have for Dianne and Nelson as a whole.

Thank you so so much Dianne, I wish you all the best.

Nelsons Solicitors, Dianne Collins , Historical Abuse.

5

My experience with Dianne Collins, Nelsons solicitors has been positive from the outset.
I contacted Dianne in relation to Historical abuse that I received as a child . Dianne was empathetic, understanding and very supportive . This continued throughout, to the end . Dianne completed all paperwork on my behalf, advocated for me and kept me updated throughout the process. I felt comfortable with sharing sensitive information with her as she showed me the ultimate respect and time needed to move forward with my case. Dianne from the outset had belief in what I was telling her and she believed in me , which meant the world. The process was long , however that was not down to Nelson’s it was down to factors such as gaining documents ect from third parties. The outcome was positive for me , I was awarded a significant amount of monies and acknowledgement from CICA based on my trauma as a child. I urge anyone who needs a positive experience and support, to instruct Dianne Collins or Nelsons to act on your behalf. They are professional, caring, efficient, I felt completely valued as an individual, resulted in a positive outcome. It made a world of difference to know that you treated as an individual and believed in. Absolutely outstanding service.

Highly Recommend Nelsons

I was involved in a Sporting Accident in early 2020 , I sustained multiple injuries and contacted Nelson's to assist me with my Situation.
Dianne Collins was my Solicitor and without her help I would not have received the Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation which has led me to make a 95% Recovery - I would highly recommend that if you are involved in an accident which was no fault of your own and you have sustained injuries contact Nelsons - I can't thank them enough for all the support through my case

Dianne at Nelsons has been at the forefront of the Aston Hall claims from beginning to success. I found her very pleasant and I was regularly updated by letter. Any email or phone call enquiries were dealt with efficiently and promptly in this complicated case. Highly recommended.

Great communication

5

I contacted Dianne Collins after hearing Aston Hall had been exposed. She took me on as a client straight away. She's been great all along the process. Dianne has answered my emails very quick, and even imediately sometimes. Even when they've not always been really to with my compensation claim.

Amazing service! Dianne Collins is an amazing and knowledgeable solicitor and a very good practitioner. Thank you so much for helping me to get closure on something I had kept with me for 20 years. A wonderful service was delivered over a two year period even through the Pandemic, I owe a great depth of gratitude as closure is something that has a value that can can not be quantified and measured. I would recommend this firm for ALL your legal needs. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. To the whole team. -Serita.

Dianne was in charge of my case of a delicate nature, it was a historic abuse claim which was always going to be difficult as the protagonist was deceased. The whole process was dealt with sympathetically yet totally professionally. Throughout it all I was never in doubt that Nelsons were on my side, they kept me informed over the lengthy discussions, never losing contact even when there was little to report. I am so grateful for the care and consideration that was shown to me by Dianne in particular and the firm in general.

I contacted Nelsons Solictors and I got in contact with Dianne Collins, who took over my claim 'no win no fee, explained the costs in case of a win, she keep informing me all the time, very efficient and pleasant to work with. In June she handed over the case to her colleague Emma Howard, a absolutly fantastic person who manage to obtain a great result very fast, a very efficient person.
In this way I want to thank them both for the efficience and work done despite COVID-19. I would definitely recommend.
